Course Description:

This course offers studies in the thermal and mechanical properties of sustainable concrete materials used in various applications. Participants will delve into the research and experimental investigations conducted on concrete mixtures containing waste materials as substitutes for fine aggregates. The course will also explore the effects of metal lathe waste addition and the influence of polypropylene, glass, and steel fibers on the thermal properties of concrete. Additionally, students will examine the thermal properties of fireplace concrete materials containing diverse mineral aggregates and enriched with organic and inorganic fibers. Throughout the course students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the behavior and performance of these innovative concrete materials.



Learning Objectives:

1. Attendees will understand the thermal properties of concrete and their implications for energy efficiency in landscape design.

2. Attendees will understand  the influence of dispersed reinforcement, such as recycled fibers, on the mechanical properties and heat flow in concrete materials.

3. Attendees will learn about the changes in thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and thermal diffusivity caused by the addition of fibers.
